17.01.2022 "Perhaps our biggest warning to companies out there is to not expect work to just return to normal once we are allowed back in the office. This event has changed how we think about work, and how it fits into our lives. To thrive during the recovery phase, companies need to take this into consideration and adapt." Food for thought Thanks Dynamic Business!

16.01.2022 The benefits of switching to cloud-based systems have been amplified by lockdowns across the country, and the world. It makes sense that the businesses with these systems already in place were better equipped for the mass switch to remote working conditions. We have been advocates for people implementing cloud software into their business for quite some time. Now more than ever, adopting this kind of technology is crucial to the survival of your business!

16.01.2022 To our business friends in NSW - there is now a $3,000 Business Recovery Grant available to help small businesses meet the costs of safely reopening or upscalin...g operations. Only applicable to expenses from 1 July 2020, and where there is no other government support available. Full details: http://ow.ly/ejsX50AoC0Z See more

16.01.2022 Tomorrow marks the beginning of the new financial year, and these changes will be coming into play. Make sure to touch base with your accountant if you have any questions or concerns about how these might impact you.

14.01.2022 It's been a very difficult four months for business owners and entrepreneurs.

09.01.2022 A timely reminder: Many employers are required to report employee pay, tax and super information directly to the ATO each payday, and therefore don't need to give employees a payment summary at EOFY. If an employer does not report pay (yet) then they will still need to provide a payment summary. More information is available on the ATO website: http://ow.ly/CUWe50AtqwR

03.01.2022 One prediction for the post-coronavirus business world is an increase in M&A activity for "survival reasons", particularly amongst small and medium businesses.

03.01.2022 There are so many opportunities to second-guess yourself when embarking on a big life journey, and as all entrepreneurs know there is never a shortage of naysayers who will try and add to your doubt. Often it's comforting to know you're not alone. This is a really interesting and open discussion on experiencing the fear of starting a business and other other entrepreneurs pushed through that fear.

03.01.2022 "Despite the effects of the global pandemic, a record amount of venture capital was invested into Australian startups, with 92 deals recorded so far this year." A very interesting read. Shout out to all the new business owners in our community in 2020!

03.01.2022 Details of business closures and reduced workforce requirements are now available on the Victorian Government website: http://ow.ly/Is3S50APOiM Please get in touch with us if you need professional advice and support getting through this difficult time.

02.01.2022 It has been announced that JobKeeper payments will continue - however payment is to be reduced and paid at two rates, and organisations will have to meet new eligibility criteria: https://treasury.gov.au/coronavirus/jobkeeper/extension

01.01.2022 2020 has not been the year any of us wanted. Cancelled events. Plans put on pause. Uncertainty about what the future holds. And I guess thats why so many peo...ple want to pretend this is over. Others dont have that luxury. In the last 36 hours we lost two more Victorian lives to this deadly virus. We dont yet know their names, their stories or the circumstances in which they died. All we do know is that except for the company and compassion of the medical staff who cared for them they would have died alone. No family. No friends. No holding hands. No goodbyes. Denied the last quiet moments that we all hope for. Thats how dangerous and infectious this disease is. Thankfully, its a fate that most Victorian families have not been asked to endure. And I think, for some, thats led to a creeping complacency. But although today its someone else tomorrow it could be you, or me. I know a lot of people aren't scared because this feels like something happening to other people in other parts of the world. But you should be scared of this. Im scared of this. We all should be. Yesterday, we reached a grim new milestone, the most cases in a single day. Today, we surpassed it. Its clear we are on the cusp of our second wave and we cannot let this virus cut through our communities. Its why based on the advice of the Chief Health Officer, Stage 3 Stay at Home restrictions will be reinstated across metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire from 11:59pm on Wednesday 8 July. For six weeks, and if you live in these areas, therell be only four reasons to leave your home: Shopping for food and essential items. Care and caregiving. Daily exercise. Work and study if you cant do it from home. Otherwise: Stay home. Stay home. Stay home. In case it needs repeating, stay home. We are fighting a global and deadly pandemic. This Stay at Home direction will apply to your principal place of residence that means no escaping to holiday homes. And because we need to limit the spread of the virus across our state, there will only be three reasons to cross the border of these metropolitan areas: Shopping for food and essential items. Care and caregiving. Work and study if you cant do it from home. Unless youre a local, that means no fishing trips at Lakes Entrance. No four-hour hikes in the Grampians. Businesses in metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire will also return to Stage 3 restrictions. Restaurants and cafes will return to takeaway and delivery services only. Beauty and personal services will need to close. Entertainment and cultural venues will need to close. Community sport will need to stop. I know just how tough this will be for these businesses and for their workers. I promise, well have more to say shortly about support to help get you through. I also understand six weeks might feel like an eternity. But its the time our health experts tell us they need to really get on top of this thing. Many parents, teachers and students will be worried about what happens with the school year. I can confirm that all Year 11 and Year 12 students in metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire will go back to school for Term 3 as planned, along with our special schools. For students Prep to Year 10, were going to extend the school holidays by one week, so we can get more advice from our health experts. But I want to be upfront and let parents know that a return to remote learning for these kids is a possibility, if thats what they tell us is safest. For people who live in regional Victoria, where case numbers remain low, current restrictions will remain the same for now. Weve talked about this virus being like a public health bushfire. By putting a ring around metropolitan Melbourne, were essentially putting in place a perimeter to protect regional Victorians. This is not where any of us wanted to be, but we have to face the reality of our situation. To do anything else would have deadly consequences. I dont take this step lightly. And I know just how deeply frustrating this is for everyone. But Im asking you, please talk to your families. Talk to your friends. Talk to your neighbours. Talk to your communities. This isnt over. And until there is a vaccine or a drug or a cure, there is no such thing as normal. For every restriction that you break and all the health advice that you ignore the consequence may be someones life. Now more than ever, we need Victorians to play their part. Lives are counting on it.
